Hillcrest meeting Jan. 23

Orillia Today

ORILLIA - Residents are invited to add their two cents on the design of a neighbourhood park planned for the Hillcrest School site.
The first public workshop takes place Jan. 23 from 6:30 p.m. to 9 p.m. in the Tudhope-McIntyre boardroom at the Orillia City Centre.
Following a brief presentation by the design consultant, participants will gather in groups and discuss how they would like to see the park developed.
“During public consultations back in 2010, individuals and families in the neighbourhood told the city that a park at the site was their priority,” said Coun. Tony Madden. “The city is following through on that commitment to develop viable parkland for a neighbourhood that is deficient in accessible, passive-use recreation.”
